Understood. > The relation > > physical resolution <= virtual resolution > > is invariant. That seems to be true for Xorg, but not for XFree86 4.3, as I said in my report, my setup worked with XFree86 4.3. I think it made the monitor use a 1600x1050 resolution, which doesn't work with X.org > Considering this, please rephrase the setup you'd like to achieve. What I want to have is running my Laptop-Screen and my CRT-Monitor with their heighest resolution together in a Xinerama-Setup using the vertical size of my Laptop display (1050) and the width of double the laptop-display (1680). This seems to be _not_ possible with X.org, as X.org lets the CRT-Monitor not run with 1600x1200. I can of course change the virtual desktop to be 3320x1200, but then I have to scroll on my Laptop screen which is not very nice. I just thought that the old Xfree-Setup should still work, if there is no way you are free to close this bug. Andreas -- You are not dead yet. But watch for further reports.
